I just discovered http://experts.yahoo.com/. (How long has this been going on?) Looks like fertile ground for recruiting article writers/editors/reviewers. Those of us non-experts who dabble on pages out of our league (or am I the only one? :-) can pose thoughtful questions to experts in the appropriate category. We can get answers and then maybe entice them into contributing to the 'pedia themselves! <>< Tim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo!

Not unusual in structure -mostly textual references. BTW: All Mac and Windows users, you are viewing your web page text using these TrueType font structures right now :-) I like the idea of a beta on the wikipedia site to get consensus up on the use of the wiki approach.
